See the stickied threads at the top of General Sitcoms for the schedules of the broadcast networks.

shows on each night listed in order of priority

Weekdays
People Puzzler new season
You Bet Your Life
Jeopardy!

Sundays
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune
S.W.A.T. when it moves- Since they don't even have a specific replacement lined up on Fridays I am hoping that plan changes and they stick something like Undercover Boss on overrun cursed Sundays when Seal Team moves to Paramount+, keeping S.W.A.T. on Fridays (which would have been preferable an hour later so I could watch it and Blue Bloods back-to-back).
Supermarket Sweep- I saw every episode in season 1 and will watch the season 2 premiere to see if it has improved. But odds are strong that I drop Supermarket Sweep after the premiere, Leslie Jones will always be a horrible host.

Mondays- what a downgrade for NBC, would have been nice to get Weakest Link in fall again.
9-1-1
The Neighborhood- This is fairly even or slightly ahead of 9-1-1 in my book. But since Comcast has been terrible about putting FOX shows on demand, 9-1-1 will remain live.
The Good Doctor

Tuesdays
FBI: Most Wanted
FBI
FBI: International

Wednesdays
The Wonder Years

Thursdays
Young Sheldon
Law and Order: For the Defense- Screw you NBC, this was my most anticipated new show!
Ghosts
United States of Al
B Positive- Kudos to CBS sticking with this show and in fall despite the controversy.
Big Sky
800 Words

Fridays
Blue Bloods
S.W.A.T.

Saturdays
World's Funniest Animals

I am likely boycotting all of FOX's new dramas for the next two seasons (they have already picked up dramas for 2022-2023 season) after how the brilliant, unique Prodigal Son got screwed over. They didn't need to toss it to the wolves in their death slot against This is Us and FBI. If its hour was switched with lousy generic The Resident, ratings and renewal fate would have been switched as well. 9-1-1: Lone Star also sucks, a generic copy of its parent show.

Midseason
any future seasons of Mental Samurai that hopefully come after season 2
Weakest Link
Call Me Kat
AGT: Extreme
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? if renewed
Pivoting- It will be interesting to see Ginnifer Goodwin from Once Upon a Time and Maggie Q from Designated Survivor in a sitcom.
Smallwood- This is a unique sitcom premise. (I consider Ed a light drama, not a sitcom.)
maybe Abbott Elementary
maybe Good Sam- I am not usually a medical drama fan but it stars Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs who I liked as the Awake star.

Screw you NCIS! The best part of it confirmed she is leaving. It is really pathetic how much hate Bishop has gotten from NCIS fans over the years. Yet we are still stuck with horrible Torres. I might drop NCIS and not follow it to Mondays, lousy direction! I won't bother with NCIS: Hawaii now either.

Why not drop everything else as well? I feel like I keep saying this every year but it looks like the main networks have hit a new low. All of these new fall schedules stink! I don't get it. How come the premium cable channels can bring out shows like "WandaVision", "Fleabag", and "The Mandalorian" while the old networks are stuck with crap like "Love Island", "The Neighborhood", and "The United States Of Al"?

On the bright side, the Canadian upfronts are a week away and I'll keep a close eye on them to see what sort of junk our programmers will be buying from south of the border. The key date will be Thursday June 3rd, when CHCH TV, our Antenna/Me/Decades counterpart, will unveil their new fall schedule. Their primetime shows will stink as well but the daytime retro lineup is always unbelievable and may even bring a few surprises as well. Last fall, they brought in great shows like "Get Smart", "The Beverly Hillbillies", "Green Acres", "Gilligan's Island", and "The Brady Bunch". This time, I would expect more great stuff to follow. I'll have the full details next week.

I like The Neighborhood, it is a rare good current comedy. Are you basing that on the pilot? That was rough, and I wasn't sure about it then. But The Neighborhood has really improved from its beginning. I agree Love Island is total garbage. But with trash reality like The Bachelor and Big Brother always doing well, unfortunately that genre will never go away.

United States of Al is a charming show, I got caught up on the nine episodes that have aired this weekend. I used to think Chuck Lorre shows weren't worth much, Two and a Half Men will always be total garbage. But his shows (Young Sheldon and B Positive) are three of my top four current sitcoms now, the other one being The Neighborhood.

What a horrible off season this has been with Manifest unexpectedly getting cancelled, Prodigal Son also cancelled, and Bishop leaving NCIS. With NBC screwing over Manifest now, it doesn't make me want to watch La Brea anymore, that show is likely dropped.

You are right. La Brea sounds like the pits!

The best new show this season is not from primetime, but syndication. It is great seeing Jay Leno and Kevin Eubanks again in You Bet Your Life, I have watched every episode so far. I am still ticked at NBC after their idiotic scrapping of Law and Order: For the Defense. They literally have nothing worth watching on the fall schedule now, won't be anything good there until Weakest Link returns. I had not looked at this thread in awhile, since then saw every episode of United States of Al and it is a definite add for season 2. FBI: International was a disappointment last night. The crossover started out so well with the veteran FBIs but I ended up turning off the International part, too explicit! I will give International another chance next week, it could still benefit staying on my schedule being sandwiched between the other FBIs. The Wonder Years remake premieres tonight. I think it will be good (Dule Hill starring should help), but not on the level of the original. Also, NCIS is officially dropped now. I tried the season premiere, Bishop's replacement sucks and I never did like Torres.

I needed this laugh! Three months later, but it'll do...

I guess I will stick with Supermarket Sweep. It is a borderline call with Leslie's sub-par hosting, but I do like the game play and the tweak they made that improved the bonus round for season 2. They really need to get a separate play by play announcer for the big sweep time though. No one can fill Johnny Gilbert's shoes but surely someone competent could be found for that segment.

Episodes 2 and 3 of FBI: International were much better than the pilot. It is back to being a definite on my schedule.

Ghosts was really good, easily this season's best new primetime show. This is a rare time I agree with the critics that something is worth watching. Dan Frischman (Arvid on the original Head of the Class) has a doppelganger. I thought he was part of the Ghosts cast but no one with that name was listed in it, even sounded like Arvid. Rose McIver the lead is gorgeous. For the first time I will be watching all four comedies on CBS' Thursday night block. I just hope United States of Al doesn't permanently lose its season 1 funniness and be heavy drama all season. I get why they did it for the premiere, but keep this a sitcom! 800 Words will remain live for its final three episodes since UP shows are not easily available on demand. Then after 800 Words is finished Ghosts and B Positive will be upgraded to live viewing.
